The photo series—with 10 photos of the model by continuous shooting—was created inside the former residence of Japanese novelist Takero Arishima in Sapporo Art Park, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. On the top floor of the house, I saw from the windows a group of hobbyist photographers taking pictures of a hired model, whose body corresponds to East Asian ideals of slender femininity.
The work reflects on how beauty norms are visually reinforced through the gaze, and how certain body types are coded as desirable while others—“too muscular”, “too fat” or “not slender enough” are marked as non-feminine and undesirable.

這組攝影系列，當中包括10幅以連拍方式拍攝的影像，是在日本北海道札幌藝術之森內，小說家有島武郎舊居中完成的。當我身處房子的頂層時，透過窗戶看見一群業餘攝影者正在拍攝一位受雇的模特兒，而她的身體正符合東亞社會對纖細女性氣質的理想想像。
這組作品反思美的規範如何透過凝視在視覺上被強化，以及某些身體類型是人所渴望的，而其他類型如「過於健壯」、「過於肥胖」或「不夠纖細」則被認為非女性化且不會令人渴望。
